You use the WSIFOperation interface to invoke a service based on
a particular binding.
The WSIFOperation interface is the run-time representation of an operation.
This interface provides methods to create input, output, and fault messages,
and to invoke the operation.
For more information about the WSIFOperation interface (/wsi/org/apache/wsif/WSIFOperation.html)
see the generated API information.
- createInputMessage, createOutputMessage and createFaultMessage
- These are factory methods to create the messages required by the invocation
methods. All invocation methods require an input message.
- executeRequestResponseOperation
- This method invokes "In Out" operations.
- executeInputOnlyOperation
- This method invokes "In only" operations.
- executeRequestResponseOperation
- If this method is used for invocation, then an output and a fault message
are instantiated and passed on the call to the method. If the method returns true,
then the output message contains the response message. If the message returns false,
then a fault occurred and is returned in the fault message.
- executeRequestResponseAsync
- This method allows "In Out" operations to be invoked with the reply
handled using an alternate thread. Use of this method is discussed further
in WSIFOperation - Asynchronous
interactions.
- setContext and getContext
- Use of these methods is discussed in WSIFOperation
- Context.
All of the executeNnnn methods fail with an exception if
there is an error in processing the request in the WSIF provider.
Setting the timeouts for synchronous and asynchronous operations is discussed
in WSIFOperation - Synchronous
and asynchronous timeouts.
